National flag-carrier Cyprus Airways has established a UK office through an agreement with
UK-based Flight Directors for the launch of its new London Heathrow to Larnaca service,
which starts from 5 November 2021. The company will operate flights three times weekly,
every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, at very competitive prices, to one of Europe’s most
popular, and sunniest, holiday destinations.


Cyprus has a long tradition of welcoming British tourists and there is a large Greek Cypriot
community residing in the UK, which Cyprus Airways is engaging with in a variety of ways
including supporting the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK.


Ticket pricing for the Cyprus Airways flights to and from London Heathrow aims to offer the
traveling public with competitive fares, enabling travelers to avoid higher ticket prices by
planning ahead and booking their tickets early.
Cypriots are advised to book quickly to take advantage of fares that begin from £70 for the
flights from London Heathrow to Larnaca and from €65 for the flights from Larnaca to
London Heathrow. Cyprus Airways has announced a zero-penalty fee for flight changes on
basic fare tickets.


Leaving in the early afternoon from Heathrow’s Terminal 3, the new flight will operate year-
round with an easy-to-book to website for direct passengers, using modern Airbus A319
aircraft with only 144 seats so personal attention from the friendly cabin crew is
guaranteed.


Cyprus Airways is the Cypriot national flag carrier with a heritage stretching back to 1947
and is based at Larnaca airport, under the ownership of SJC Holdings in Malta, an aviation
specialist with air ambulance and helicopter maintenance businesses that stretch
throughout Africa and the Middle-East. Alongside an easy-to-book website for direct
passengers, Cyprus Airways is currently finalising travel agency distribution through UK
travel agencies with sunny Cyprus enjoying established ties with a raft of specialist UK tour
operators.


Paul Argyle, Managing Director of Flight Directors said: “"Flight Directors is delighted to
partner with Cyprus Airways towards a successful launch of their services to and from
London Heathrow. This is a wonderful opportunity and a real, positive sign of the market for
air travel returning. The new service is starting before the summer ends and will continue
throughout the winter, satisfying part of the pent-up demand for sunshine holidays."

Media Release

The appointment was made as Cyprus Airways seeks greater UK brand awareness, as well as
